I bought the fabric but have not found time to sew, looking forward to trying it.

I made that quilt from some stripes I just happened to have in my stash. I wanted to try it before I bought some other striped fabric. It was so much fun & it was fast to make. I ended up buying the same fabric Jenny used but I haven't made another one yet. I will though. I'm getting ready to go away but I'll try to remember when I get home to post a pic.

I love your pattern, also. It is quite different from the other strip that Jenny shows. I think it is the colors that make it stand out.

I found an old sheet to try this pattern with. It was super fun to do and probably one of the quickest quilts I ever put together. Using an "uneven" stripe, it was very interesting to see the different triangle combinations I ended up with.

Anything less then 1 1 /4" yard and the squares will have to be smaller. Here is a picture of one of the quilts.

I love this!

I think the wide binding in the pink quilt is great. It gives something extra to the design. I'm going to use wide binding on my next quilt. Let's over throw the quilt police!

It's definitely a fun quilt. I had another quilt teacher who also loves Kaffe Fassett stripes. I may have to give it a try.

To me, it looked like the fabrics she was working with were on the dark side. And there were samples in the background showing what the finished quilt looks like?
